<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">Il coaching e’ tradizionalmente indirizzato al raggiungimento di obiettivi concreti ed e’ spesso usato all’interno di aziende per migliorare le prestazioni lavorative di impiegati e managers. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Il ruolo del coach e’ di supportare il cliente nel raggiungimento dei suoi obiettivi. Il coach e’ in parte tutor, insegnante, ma soprattutto un facilitatore. Il cliente sceglie una meta e il coach mette a disposizione la sua professionalita’ per accompagnare il cliente verso quell’obiettivo. Con un coach la meta e’ piu’ chiara e viene raggiunta in modo piu’ efficace.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Una tecnica molto usata consiste nello scrivere l’obiettivo che si vuole perseguire in base ai seguenti parametri:</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT"><span> </span>S<span>         </span><span>            </span>Specifico</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">M<span>         </span><span>            </span>Misurabile</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">A<span>          </span><span>            </span>Accessibile</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">R<span>          </span><span>            </span>Risultato chiaro</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">T<span>          </span><span>            </span>Tempistiche specifiche</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Un obiettivo cosi’ formulato diventa infatti un vero e proprio piano di sviluppo per quell’obiettivo, contenente tutte le informazioni e istruzioni necessarie.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">Nell’area del coaching in tanti stanno scoprendo che un approccio unicamente focalizzato all’aspetto pratico degli obiettivi non e’ abbastanza. C’e’ un livello piu’ sottile e talvolta impercettibile che influenza la nostra capacita’ di realizzare obiettivi. A questo livello il cliente fa un esperienza di crescita personale e arricchisce i suoi obiettivi con questi ingredienti:</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">A<span>            </span>Autenticita’</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">C<span>            </span>Consapevolezza</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">E<span>            </span>Empowerment</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">L’obiettivo e’ ora una parte autentica del progetto di vita del cliente che, con la nuova consapevolezza di se’ acquisita, puo’ ora piu’ facilmente attingere al proprio potere personale.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Attraverso il potere evocativo delle loro immagini i Tarocchi possono arricchire il coaching mirato ad un autentica scoperta di se. Diversi aspetti della propria personalita’ possono essere esplorati attraverso lo specchio delle carte che riflettono le nostre energie ed emozioni. L’interazione con i Tarocchi e’ istintiva ed immediata e non serve che il cliente conosca i Tarocchi perche’ le immagini provocano una reazione immediata e quella reazione e’ cio’ che conta.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">Con la storia che segue vorrei raccontare con un esempio concreto di come i Tarocchi possono integrarsi e completare un processo di coaching.</span></p>
<h4><span lang="IT">Una seduta di Coaching</span></h4>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Un professionista mi ha contattato per lavorare su un progetto lavorativo collegato ad una promozione. Il cliente ha formulato il suo obiettivo in modo specifico, misurabile, orientato al risultato, raggiungibile e con tempistiche chiare, ma le cose non stanno andando secondo i piani.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Quando il cliente parla dei suoi obiettivi e del lavoro che lo ha portato ha redigerli con il collegamento ai piani aziendali e alle proprie ambizioni lavorative, l’energia del cliente ha una spiccata impronta strategica, logica e razionale. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Mi sembra quasi di vedere un capitano al timone della sua nave mentre descrive orgoglioso le rotte che ha pianificato di navigare.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Quando il cliente inizia a parlare delle difficolta’ incontrate, l’orgoglio e la sicurezza cedono spazio ad un altro tono energetico, di frustrazione, confusione e pena.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">E’ allora che un altra energia inizialmente indistinta si fa spazio. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">La reazione del cliente a questa seconda energia e’ veloce ed indirizzata a riprendere il controllo attraverso le energie razionali normalmente piu’ frequentate mentre l’energia di frustrazione rimane sullo sfondo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">La prima impressione e’ che gli obiettivi siano stati scelti dalle voci primarie del cliente che normalmente guidano la sua vita. Tuttavia e’ chiaro che ci siano degli altri aspetti meno conosciuti della personalita’ del cliente che stanno giocando un ruolo importante nel bloccare la realizzazione di questi obiettivi. Il cliente e’ a disagio rispetto a questa<span>  </span>diversa energia e cerca di superare le sue difficolta’ sopprimendola.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Chiedo al cliente di scegliere una carta dal mazzo degli arcani maggiori dei Tarocchi. Desidero contattare l’energia primaria del cliente. Il cliente guarda le immagini di tutte le carte e sceglie quella che meglio rappresenta la sua personalita’ e il suo approccio al lavoro.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Il cliente sceglie l’Imperatore (IV). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT"> <img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-90" title="tarocco-4" src="http://itisallaboutlife.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/tarocco-4.png?w=159&#038;h=300" alt="tarocco-4" width="159" height="300" />L&#8217;immagine appartiene al mazzo di Tarocchi disegnato da AnnaGrazia Ogier per il libro di Franca Errani &#8216;I Venti del Risveglio&#8217;.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">A questo punto il cliente spiega la sua scelta e cosi’ facendo inizia ad entrare in contatto con questo aspetto primario della sua personalita’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Il cliente incontra la propria voce primaria attraverso l’immagine della carta. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Questo puo’ rappresentare un filtro protettivo e rassicurante per chi non e’ avvezzo all’esplorazione di subpersonalita’, ma puo’ anche servire per focalizzare il cliente su una specifica energia e la sua qualita’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Dedicare attenzione al lato primario di questa polarita’ e’ importante per conoscere e capire le ragioni e le paure di chi prende le decisioni nella vita del cliente. Il cliente puo’, grazie a queste informazioni, iniziare a separarsi da questa voce e aprirsi a sperimentare altri aspetti della sua personalita’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Chiedo allora al cliente di scegliere un’ altra carta, questa volta a carte coperte. Il cliente e’ ora aperto a scoprire un altro aspetto di se’ coinvolto nella situazione su cui stiamo lavorando, l’aspetto trascurato e in ombra.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">La carta scelta e’ ora il Mondo (XXI):</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT"> <img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-91" title="tarocco-21" src="http://itisallaboutlife.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/tarocco-21.png?w=162&#038;h=300" alt="tarocco-21" width="162" height="300" /><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">L&#8217;immagine appartiene al mazzo di Tarocchi disegnato da AnnaGrazia Ogier per il libro di Franca Errani &#8216;I Venti del Risveglio&#8217;.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">La carta scelta da un mazzo coperto rappresenta sempre una sorpresa per il cliente. La reazione alla carta e’<span>  </span>dunque sempre molto interessante. Ancora una volta la<span>  </span>carta e’ filtro protettivo da un lato e lente di ingrandimento dall’altro per il cliente che in questo caso affronta un territorio meno conosciuto, una parte di se’ con cui non ha familiarita’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">La reazione del cliente e’ immediata:” Non so cosa vuol dire, ma il primo pensiero vedendo questa figura che danza nella carta, riguarda la mia partner. Da tempo mi chiede di partecipare insieme ad un corso di ballo che io non posso fare per via dei ritmi del mio lavoro.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Il cliente e’ in difficolta’ per l’imprevista svolta che la sessione ha preso: improvvisamente stiamo parlando della sua vita privata e non piu’ del suo lavoro.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Il cliente mi parla delle cose in cui crede in materia di lavoro e vita privata e di come sia inconcepibile risparmiarsi sul lavoro per fare una cosa frivola come un corso di ballo. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">L’energia primaria sta parlando di nuovo, ma questa volta e’ molto piu’ chiara l’origne dell’ansieta’ e della frustrazione. Il cliente e la sua partner sono diventati l’Imperatore e la fanciulla nella carta del Mondo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Attraverso questa seduta il cliente ha scoperto quanta ansieta’ gli provoca il rapporto con la sua partner e quanto questo influenzi la sua realizzazione lavorativa.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Questo e’ l’inizio di un percorso di coaching<span>  </span>che rimane focalizzato al<span>  </span>raggiungimento degli obiettivi del cliente. La scoperta<span>  </span>fatta durante la prima seduta dovra’ essere digerita dal cliente ed elaborata nelle successive sedute.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">E’ ora di chiudere il sipario su questa seduta e di riconciliare i diversi aspetti sperimentati dal cliente. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Chiedo al cliente di guardare ad entrambe le carte scelte e di considerarle i due membri del team che lo aiuteranno a raggiungere i suoi obiettivi. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="IT">Il cliente lascia la seduta piu’ consapevole di se anche se scosso dalle scoperte fatte e non ancora sicuro di quale sara’ il prossimo passo.</span></p>
<h4><span lang="IT">Due parole sul metodo</span></h4>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">L’ossatura dell’approccio usato in questa seduta di coaching con i Tarocchi e’ il Dialogo delle Voci. La mappatura delle energie primarie e rinnegate e’ il punto di partenza di un processo di esplorazione orientato a creare consapevolezza nel cliente. </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">I Tarocchi e le loro immagini simboliche accompagnano il cliente nel processo di scoperta e lo aiutano ad entrare in contatto con le voci primarie e rinnegate. Questo puo’ essere usato come un metodo per andare piu’ in profondita’ o come un filtro protettivo che consenta una prima esperienza delle proprie sub-personalita’ in modo indiretto, attraverso i personaggi nelle carte.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">I Tarocchi possono essere scelti in modo consapevole dal cliente per rappresentare se stesso nell’energia che sente dominante cosi’ come possono essere scelti a carte coperte per aprirsi ad un messaggio del subconscio. La relazione fra coach e cliente guidera’ la scelta dell’approccio piu’ adeguato.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT">Il significato tradizionale dei Tarocchi scelti dal cliente puo’ suggerire al coach delle domande da fare al cliente, ma non e’ di per se rilevante per il cliente che fa esperienza diretta dei Tarocchi attraverso la sua intuizione.</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText"><span lang="IT"> </span></p>

<p>The article in the link below is meant as a &#8216;mind game&#8217; or a thought provoking exercise to verify or challenge some of the beliefs we have about money and work.</p>
<p>Why we work instead of stealing from other who have in surplus?</p>
<p>How would we explain to an alien how our economy works?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>It is quite unusual to find a quality as humility amongst the most important leadership quality, especially if it is found at the top of the list.</p>
<p>Ego is the most powerful force in business—for good or bad. More powerful than money, more potent than talent. Ego is the invisible line-item on every company’s profit and loss statement. The problem arise when ego is subtly managing us in the absence of 1) <strong>humility</strong>, 2) <strong>curiosity</strong>, and 3) <strong>veracity</strong>.</p>
<p>This is the theory of Dave Marcum and Steve Smith, the authors of <em>egonomics</em>. Their work was sparked by Jim Collins’ landmark research in <em>Good to Great</em>, who discovered that leaders of companies who break the gravity of good to become truly great have two common—but extremely rare— characteristics: 1) fierce personal resolve/ego drive, 2) extreme personal humility. We hope to make that unique combination far less rare in business. </p>
<p>Curious about this new concept I read some more about this theory and looked back at my 10 years of corporate experience as I was reading. I have to say it make complete sense. Some of the skills and attitudes considered most appropriate for leaders in business are actually counterproductive.</p>
<p>Below is the link to a 10 min. video that present this theory in more details. It is also a promotion of the workshop they offer, however there is a lot of interesting information to be found as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.whatisegonomics.com/">http://www.whatisegonomics.com/</a></p>
<p>Dave Marcum and Steve Smith also have a blog containing information about their theory and its different applications.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>There is a growing trend in education and personal development: play!</p>
<p>It is more and more observed how playing can help people to learn at school, to learn about themselves and to engage in development within companies. There is a growing number of games that are designed to give much more than some fun time.</p>
<p>The most famous example is probably the <a href="http://www.findhorn.org/workshops/workshopspage/game.php">Transformation Game</a> developed by the Findhorn community. A powerful tool for personal insight that never stop to surprise me.</p>
<p>Another example is <a href="http://www.enricocheli.com/Insight.htm">Insight,</a> also a personal development game developed in Italy. The formula is always quite simple and the impact has on the players always important.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m pleased to report that also companies are starting to open up to game-based activities to develop their human resources.</p>
<p>In the U.S. there is also a National Institute for Play, committed to <em>unlocks the human potential through play in all stages of life using science to discover all that play has to teach us about transforming our world</em></p>
<p><a href="http://nifplay.org/">http://nifplay.org/</a></p>
<p>All the best</p>

This methodology is nowadays applied among others to psychotherapy, coaching, counselling and actor’s training.<br />
I work with voice dialogue since 1993 and I’m still an enthusiastic.</p>
<p>Recently has become available on line a video that shade some light on voice dialogue and the psychology of selves:</p>
<p><span style="text-align:center; display: block;"><a href="http://itisallaboutlife.wordpress.com/2008/03/31/voice-dialogue/"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/4UvrAQaDGg4/2.jpg" alt="" /></a></span></p>
<p>Can you recognize in yourself any of the sub-personality mentioned in the video?</p>
<p>Learning to know your voices helps developing awareness and awareness support the expression of personal power.</p>

<p>Women earn less than men in the same job position. The European average says that women earn 15% less than their male colleagues.</p>
<p>I was surprise to find out that in England women are paid 30% less than men, while Malta, Hungary and Poland have differences in the order of 10-15%. (<a href="http://www.euractiv.com/en/socialeurope/report-women-get-fair-reward-contribution-eu/article-162303">Source</a>)</p>
<p>Scandinavian countries are considered the best example of women’s opportunity in the work place, mainly for the introduction of laws requiring a certain percentage of women in senior management position. However Scandinavian women earn on average 18% less than men. (<a href="http://www.helsinki.fi/science/xantippa/wle/wle34.html">Source</a>)</p>
<p>On a more personal level this data are an invitation to reflect on your own income.</p>
<p>Are you satisfied with your income?</p>
<p>What do you personally feel worth (salary wise) today?</p>
<p>Is this good for you or do you want to learn to believe that you are worth a higher income?</p>
<p>There is nowadays a large number of resources available to help women improve their budgeting skills and learn how to be financially indipendent. However, only few look at the root cause of the mindset that still keeps a lot of women in a dependent situation.</p>
<p>The article below is about the Inner Patriarc, the archetypical subpersonality that discredit women as inferior to men. This voice is widely present in Western society both in men and women and its power is widespread and generally accepted as the status quo.</p>
<p>SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE INNER PATRIARC by Hal Stone, PhD &amp; Sidra Stone, PhD</p>
<p><em>When a woman is having difficulties in her life &#8211; particularly in areas having to do with her relationships, her power, her sexuality, and her ability to set and hold boundaries &#8211; ask her the following questions: &#8220;How would you act in that situation if you were a man?&#8221; or &#8220;How would you feel about that if you were a man?&#8221; The answers to these two questions lead directly to the discovery of the woman&#8217;s Inner Patriarch.. <a title="READ MORE" href="http://http://delos-inc.com/Reading_Room/Articles/25/25.html">READ MORE</a><br />

		<description><![CDATA[

<p>The celebration, this month, of Women’s day has brought attention on some statistical data that describe the situation of women in society.</p>
<p>The most interesting and peculiar news to me is the one I found in a small Dutch paper. The news is that on average Dutch newspaper dedicate 80% of the space to man&#8217;s related facts and only 20% to women&#8217;s related news.</p>
<p>The Pareto principle comes to mind.</p>
<p>The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, 80% of the effects comes from 20% of the causes.</p>
<p>Based on this principle, 20% of the space dedicated to women in newspapers can make 80% of the impact on the world.</p>
<p>Here below I would like to share with you the link to a webspace dedicated to women.<br />
In the official website of the International Women’s day 2008 I found the video messages of a number of inspiring women. They are from different cultures and different companies and each shares a message for the world about women.</p>
<p>Click on the link below to visit the International Women’s day website and enjoy the video.</p>

<p>On a personal level I invite you to reflect on the amount of information about yourself that you share with others. Do all your loved ones know what you are up to or which kind of challenges are you facing at the moment? I&#8217;m sure they would be really keen on listening to you and you could get so much comfort from their support.</p>
<p>It can be writing e-mails or old fashin letters, making phone calls or sending cards. You can even start a blog about yourself for your family and friends to read.</p>
<p>Celebrate your victories, share your sorrow and fight your battles with the people you care about. It is nurturing and motivating.</p>

<p>Some time ago&#8217; I discovered the document that you find here in attachment. It is quite a courageous theory about new trends in the job market and I believe that this text can be not only inspiring but also reassuring. I personally hear so many people that don’t find anymore what they need and want in the traditional structure of employment. Well, there are alternatives.</p>
<p>This is how this document begins:</p>
<p>‘<em>An exodus of amazing proportions is quietly overtaking corporate America. The twentieth-century linear career model, of rising to the top of a corporation and being a big, fat, ethically unscrupulous powermonger is, frankly, dead. An anti-corporate, suit my own lifestyle, not yours-Kaleidoscope Career is being born.’</em></p>

<p>I hope you will enjoy and I would really like to read your comment about this.</p>
